[Electronics-talk] Penguin Talking Clock

[Tony Sohl]

Are you looking for an affordable talking alarm clock? Are you 
looking for a unique kind of talking clock? Are you looking for a 
clock that is easy to set and is not to complicated?

Well the National Federation of the Blind's Independence market 
has just the thing you are looking for! Introducing the talking 
penguin clock.  This clock is cute and adorable! The clock is in 
the shape of a penguin, and in order for you to find out the 
time, just simply press the top of his hat.  The speaker is 
located on the top of his hat.

On the left and right sides of his body, there are the wings 
which are used to select several functions depending upon what 
mode the clock is in at the particular time.

In order to set the time and alarm, there is a round button on 
his back just above the battery door.

If you press the button once, then this will put you into the 
time setting mode.

If you press the left wing, this will set the hours and if you 
press the right wing, this will set the minutes.

After you have set the time and if you wait for a few seconds, 
then the clock will automatically return to it's normal mode.

If the clock is in normal mode and if you wish to set the alarm, 
press the round mode button on his back twice.  This will put the 
clock into the alarm setting mode, and use the same procedure to 
set the alarm.

If you press the select button again, then the clock will beep 
twice, and this will put the clock into normal mode.  Once in 
normal mode, the wings have different functions.  Pressing the 
left wing will cycle you through the various alarm sounds.  
Pressing the right wing will turn the hourly chime on and off.

If you press and hold down the hat, you can listen to the alarm 
sound which you have selected.  For sight users, the digital 
display is in his stomach.  The clock takes 2 triple A batteries 
which are included, but i'm not sure.  The and it costs $13.00.
